So this salsa? Amazing. Homemade salsa generally is though, so much better than the store bought kind. It's one of those things that I really need to make more often. I had some peaches and avocados, and decided that they needed to go together into some kind of salsa for supper last night. And it was a good idea. I had actually tried a version of this a few days ago, when the urge to throw peaches and avocado together first struck me. And then I decided I should grill everything, ... read more
Roberta’s Famous Spaghetti Sauce
Okay, it's not really famous outside of our family, but it really should be. I have tried many, many different recipes for spaghetti sauce over the years, and I just keep coming back to this one that I got from my mother-in-law. It really is the best. Every time I try something new we think, that's pretty good, maybe we'll switch to this for a while. And then I make this recipe again and remember how good it really is. And know that we will never find a spaghetti sauce that we enjoy ... read more
Vegetable Quinoa Stirfry
I'm rather late to the quinoa party. I tried it for the first time about 6 months ago, and didn't really like it. But I was determined to keep trying it, because it's just so darn healthy. I really felt like I should like it. I think that it must be one of those things that tastes different depending on what it's made with. I don't remember how I had it the first time, but I do remember not liking it at all. Since then, it's been kind of hit and miss. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I'd ... read more
Marbled Chocolate Grapefruit Muffins
These chocolate grapefruit muffins may be closer to a cupcake. For once in my life I didn't whole wheat them or decrease the sugar or try to healthy them up in any way, shape or form. And they were delicious. Super soft muffins with chocolate in every bite. Plus the scent of grapefruit is a pleasant surprise, as you don't really expect grapefruit in a muffin. I decided to make these when I discovered a neglected grapefruit hidden away at the back of my fridge. It was a bit overripe so I ... read more
Chicken Chop Salad
That's a really boring name for what was a really amazing salad. But for some reason I could not come up with anything better. Oh well, trust me, this chicken chop salad is worth making. So, so good. Even the leftovers for lunch the next day were great, which is strange because generally the idea of leftover salad does not appeal. This one did though and I couldn't wait for lunch so I could finish it off. I originally saw this salad on How Sweet It Is last week. It looked so incredible ... read more
